Before you complain "OH MY GOSH HE'S SUCH A SHOWOFF" remember this is part of a drum video. He's using the techniques he's discussed in his instruction. He's not just showing off, there's a reason he's doing those 32nd notes on the kick.
To me this track is the ultimate guide to heavy metal drumming. You can hear so many fills, breaks or even patterns that any metal drummer must be able to play. I love drums, I love this track (or demo) and I'm a Thomas Lang fan!!!
it always comes down to the facts... if you dont like a video than watch a different video you can never deny the talent and hard work this man has put into his craft point blank. awesome drumming
What a phenomenal drummer and an even better person!!! Thomas is a super nice guy. I love the sound of this acrylic kit. I may actually like it as much as his DW kits. 😊
You have got to be the most talented drummer I have ever found... My 2-1/2 year old son sits on my lap and beats on the desk watching your videos. Fun.
best technique^^ never seen a drummer playing so many variations with such precision and constant quality. thank good there are drummers outside which know how to use such a giant drummset :D
One of the most technically proficient drummers I've ever seen... masterful! Watch closely for the way he accents certain beats with his right foot using both a "heel up" and "heel down" approach to produce this effect in the "chorus" sections!
Totally agree he does have that metal edge that mangini lacks. . Mangini is fenomenal but he sounds like his drumset is mAde of a bunch of pringles cans and only marks the sticks, he do not bangs them like thomas
I love his foot technique. Really Inspiring. Its like he rides with his left foot while his right alternates to create an interesting double bass pattern.
Its insane with his double kick! its sick that hes can add a single beat kick into a double kick with his right foot, and have his left still goign with the double. this guy can keep a beat better than a metronome
NAH...he'd probably have to practice it for a month or so before he could nail it. I mean... hes great, but most of his work is pretty standard when it comes to the the rock stuff.
I'm not a fanboy, but good lord what are you talking about? Thomas Lang is the most technical drummer I've seen so far. Please check out some of his other videos and reconsider your statement.
I have his Paiste 2000 Power Ride which he used in the 80s and early 90s. My bandmate Michael Lang is his cousin and he got the cymbal from him and passed it on to me some years ago.
This song doesn't even begin to do Thomas Lang justice. Yes, this is amazing, but at the same time, this is probably what Thomas Lang was playing before he was even conceived.
I don't want to nag at the guys at dream theater but imagine how cool DT would be with Thomas in the Band... yeah Mangini is cool and everything but... Thomas is EPIC!
as far as technique goes, lang really is on top of the game..he can play amazing rhythms with 6 bass drum pedals..no one else in the game can do that, not even jojo mayer. its funny though, jojo is the only one whom I've ever seen execute the push/pull technique while drumming, that is his thing after all..im sure buddy rich would be droppin his jaw at that stuff ;)
for all you who don't understand, I'm not saying Neil Pert Couldn't play this song, But it would take him a while at best. Mad Skill as always. thanks for the upload!
Yeah he actually has...google "thomas lang carpal tunnel". I know he had it in both hands and feet, but only recall reading about him getting surgery in his hands.
This certainly isn't the best thing I've heard from this guy, that's for sure. Still, he's a helluva player. We certainly can't deny that. Nonetheless, your point is valid in this instance. I must say, I played hard rock/metal drums for 30+ years and, after quitting just a few years ago (health reasons), I must say that there are some remarkably talented young drummers out there, today. It's a real pleasure to see/hear them. God bless 'em all - each and every one!! Drummers rule!

I wouldn't care if he was showing off, that shit is hot
Ååå
Dude has the chops to be not only a show off, but a top notch show off! Love T.L.
The epitome of "control". You can tell by every hit he is an experienced session-drummer. Very impressive every time...
The noticeable difference between the accents and taps on his feet is amazing.
Yes, looks like he plays taps heel down then goes heel up for the accents, staggering technical ability.
He's essentially playing ghost notes with his feet. Hella cool.
To me this track is the ultimate guide to heavy metal drumming. You can hear so many fills, breaks or even patterns that any metal drummer must be able to play. I love drums, I love this track (or demo) and I'm a Thomas Lang fan!!!

The volume control he has on those kick pedals is absolutely nuts, I love how warm the tone is on them.
The definition of Awesomenessly flawless drummer
I love being able to see the beaters hitting the bass drums through the acrylic. You don't often get to see this style of playing in that manner.
Awesome song and very fun to play. That method is crazy. Thomas, you're the best!
The accented kick pattern is awesome!
That was absolutely amazing. Kickass awesome.
This was the Thomas Lang that won me over, his ability allows him to play anything
What a phenomenal drummer and an even better person!!! Thomas is a super nice guy. I love the sound of this acrylic kit. I may actually like it as much as his DW kits. 😊
he is playing a double bass beat withing the double bass beat. fucking next level as fuck
+daniel lopez what
+Alan Ray lol same
I love Thomas lang. Incredible foot work.
You have got to be the most talented drummer I have ever found... My 2-1/2 year old son sits on my lap and beats on the desk watching your videos. Fun.
One of the most talented these times! 🤘 A gifted person!
best technique^^ never seen a drummer playing so many variations with such precision and constant quality. thank good there are drummers outside which know how to use such a giant drummset :D
Everyone who made it to the auditions are among the best in the business.
Can't fault the guys in DT for choosing one over the other, really.
this is hidden talent of your wedding DJ
One of the most technically proficient drummers I've ever seen... masterful! Watch closely for the way he accents certain beats with his right foot using both a "heel up" and "heel down" approach to produce this effect in the "chorus" sections!
Absolutley one of the worlds greatest drummers!
that sounds really really clean... i like it...!
i realy like the way he gets into the music. You can easily see that he likes to play and enjoy it very much.
i love the footwork-dynamics
I would have loved to see you in Dream Theater bro!
Totally agree he does have that metal edge that mangini lacks. . Mangini is fenomenal but he sounds like his drumset is mAde of a bunch of pringles cans and only marks the sticks, he do not bangs them like thomas
plus Mangini studied same college as the other guys, just similar background. Thomas Lang is for me the undoubted top drummer on Earth right now.
Cu VV123456
Jakob Strand absolutely
@Daniel Gomez wasn't he supposed to be the one but scheduling issues came to play?
Wow, that is some amazing footwork.
pure brilliance. period.
in love with his kit!
That ride sounds awesome.
Thomas is such a class act and pro!
arnold schwarzenegger on the drums
They're both Austrian.
That's the austrian look.
zDrums and the same zodiac sign
xerix nope
Theycdon't call him the druminator for nothing
That was awsome sir you are amaizing
I love his foot technique. Really Inspiring. Its like he rides with his left foot while his right alternates to create an interesting double bass pattern.
Its insane with his double kick! its sick that hes can add a single beat kick into a double kick with his right foot, and have his left still goign with the double. this guy can keep a beat better than a metronome
Train Of Thought intro ;)
And Rammstein's Mein Teil
That double bass is taking you straight to the moon.
oh..my god .he is a freaking powerhouse ....
I wish everyone who says he lacks feel or doesn't play for the music would watch videos like this.
Covjek masina!
Bravo majstore!
I can't hear you over how awesome Thomas Lang is
I've played drums for a long time but this guy is awesome!!!
ahh good, these are the ones i have purchased :) thanks man
is anyone else shocked that his 6 bass pedal electro stuff isn't on youtube? that is what makes him the best!!
I like how he uses his ankles to achieve dynamics on the bass drum, and for power he raises his heels..iI have learned a lot from this video :)
Well, isn't raising your ankles something that must be taught since he beginning?
Wonderful big Set yeaah
Very musical.
Awesome!
Hermosa batería, excelente sonido, Thomas Lang ESPECTACULAR, buenísimo!!
guy obviously works at his craft - pretty amazing dynamics and accents with the double kick
YOU ARE AMAIZING BRO ESPECIALY THE DRUMMING STYLE
Best cover ever
god the picture is hellish good on that
Thomas doesn't keep track of time.
Time keeps track of Thomas.
Wow. T Lang is amazing. His feet must go at a 1000 miles an hour. Gr8 stuff and I hope he dose more shows in England.
Perfection.
Says up here that there has been 1.3 million views. Pretty sure its just like 20,000 drummers watching this 80 times each!
Sleeveless tux with some red converse. What an OG
so perfect in time
Great Kit!
this is epic!
"Bleed" by Meshuggah would be a warmup for Thomas...
You just hit a point i never thought about
NAH...he'd probably have to practice it for a month or so before he could nail it.
I mean... hes great, but most of his work is pretty standard when it comes to the the rock stuff.
But we both know, his blastbeat technique and his timing, is like the one of a clock. So I think it would not be really a challenge
Zero chance. Haake has more groove in his pinky on a Thursday night than Lang has in his entire career of playing.
Im sure he could do it. But it wouldn't be as easy as you think. Don't underestimate Tomas Haake.
I love how all of Hudson's videos begin with As I Am by Dream Theater \m/
This man can play. Very impressive!!!!
I'm not a fanboy, but good lord what are you talking about?
Thomas Lang is the most technical drummer I've seen so far.
Please check out some of his other videos and reconsider your statement.
I love that kit! Sonor beauty!
Esse é o SET mais bonito que já vi em toda minha vida!!!! QUE BATERA LINDAAA...
it's nice to see him go back a bit and lay down a nice tight groove.
Those biceps 💪😍of practice shows the results
Love u LANG 💓💗💛💖♥
THAT DRUM SET SO COOL
Thomas Lang and Gavin Harrison .. Yeah, those two = Incredible ...
Right foot says to Left foot I'm the strong one. Left foot replies, Hold my beer.
Amazing limb independence. The intro is kinda like Mein Teil, by Rammstein.
Thats one bad ass song!
tja, was soll man sagen, einfach geil, super equipment, super ausgeführt. TOP - TL
I have his Paiste 2000 Power Ride which he used in the 80s and early 90s. My bandmate Michael Lang is his cousin and he got the cymbal from him and passed it on to me some years ago.
congratulations
paiste are crap cymbals, they crack so easily.
the best cymbals are AAX Sabian stage crashes.
5 years old... not a nik!
awesome song!
soooo in love with his footwork:(
This song doesn't even begin to do Thomas Lang justice. Yes, this is amazing, but at the same time, this is probably what Thomas Lang was playing before he was even conceived.
I don't want to nag at the guys at dream theater but imagine how cool DT would be with Thomas in the Band... yeah Mangini is cool and everything but... Thomas is EPIC!
👏
Yes Lang would have taken them to another level.
My favourite song
Love his footwork
Lovely.
amazing
MUSCLES OF EPICOSITY!
thomas lang es la mejor eleccion de baterista para dream theaterr. no ahi nadie q se adapte o cuadre mas a su estilo
he's an amaizing drummer i like his style
as far as technique goes, lang really is on top of the game..he can play amazing rhythms with 6 bass drum pedals..no one else in the game can do that, not even jojo mayer. its funny though, jojo is the only one whom I've ever seen execute the push/pull technique while drumming, that is his thing after all..im sure buddy rich would be droppin his jaw at that stuff ;)
he is the king !!!
Purdy rare ta see ghost notes on a bass drum. Love it.
for all you who don't understand, I'm not saying Neil Pert Couldn't play this song, But it would take him a while at best. Mad Skill as always. thanks for the upload!
It’s peart you tool
He's the best in the world you got to give you credit due where it's due
@DanTheMandrummer man, you're the best. you said everything.
This shat made me buy the dvd!
I wonder if he's developed carpal tunnel from resting his heel throughout countless 16's bass pedals - holy strain.
Yeah he actually has...google "thomas lang carpal tunnel". I know he had it in both hands and feet, but only recall reading about him getting surgery in his hands.
@@marionavarro6043 Is that why he stopped traditional grip?
Holy crap, that is a lot of bases! and every other kind of cymbal or drum. That set must be worth more than a car!
my dream kit
10 years ago
Einfach eine lebende Legende!
This certainly isn't the best thing I've heard from this guy, that's for sure.

um sonho pra qualquer baterista!!
